Sleuths required to identify suspect in police line-up

Hat at a jaunty angle in both, I go for 6th, one observation most of the police line up have medal ribbons, your suspect has none, is this a clue to your man?

Hi James,

There are no tangible clues as such, and I have never been shown a photo of my dad that anyone could point out and say, "That's him!"; my sil's friend can eliminate one in the line-up and possibly a second, but no-one's 100% sure about anything.

But you get 'brownie points for observation - I wondered about the medal ribbons or lack of, myself.

Dad was an able seaman/boatswain in the South African merchant navy when he met and married mum (becoming domiciled) in Stepney '36. After suffering a head injury at sea, dad left the merchant navy, and the family including two baby daughters left London to live with mum's grand-parents in B-O-A Wiltshire '42, when he joined the MOD police at Corsham. He never saw 'active duty' and is not thought to have had medals of any description.

I think 4th from left... same shape face and jaunty angle.

Great minds think alike - I was saving this for later, and was going to throw a curved ball here.

I think age is key here, the man pictured in the first pic circa 1925-30 looks to be a man in his 30's, the second picture taken 1945-55 the suspect has to be at least 40+ posssibly as much as 55-60.

Why cannot we consider  those sitting down?

Have you asked people to look at photos of you alongside potential "suspects"

My guess would be fourth from the left too.
